Can Fam Physician. 1990 Feb;36:333-6.
Fragmentation of services in rural practice can create many frustrations for physicians, often demanding extra time, skills, and energy. Can collaboration between the family physician and a community-based social worker reduce stresses in a rural practice? The authors discuss cases that illustrate how physicians and social workers can work together in a semi-rural socially deprived area. The effect of collaboration in this medical practice has been to reduce the time spent contacting resources, to broaden the physician's skills and knowledge to include social and economic needs in the assessment of patient health, and to increase interest in political action and self-help initiatives within the community.
农村医疗服务的碎片化可能会给医生带来许多挫折，往往需要额外的时间、技能和精力。家庭医生和社区社工之间的合作能否减轻农村医疗实践中的压力？作者讨论了一些案例，说明了医生和社工如何在半农村贫困地区共同工作。这种医疗实践中的合作效果是减少了联系资源所花费的时间，拓宽了医生的技能和知识，使其能够将社会和经济需求纳入患者健康评估中，并增加了社区内对政治行动和自助倡议的兴趣。
